What is Cherry Jam (Sweetened with Apple Juice)?
Cherry Jam (Sweetened with Apple Juice) is a fruit preserve made with cherries and sweetened with apple juice rather than refined sugar. This version follows the familiar jam-making approach of cooking fruit until soft and spreadable, while keeping the cherries’ gently tart flavour alongside their sweetness.
Spread it on toast at breakfast, spoon it over porridge or yoghurt, or serve it with scones and tea. It is mainly a source of carbohydrates, so apple-juice sweetening does not make it unsweetened. A modest spoonful adds plenty of cherry flavour; try it with plain yoghurt or a mild cheese for a less sugary-tasting contrast.
